Bakers Pride Y600 & Y800 Pizza Oven Pilot Lighting Instructions

Your Bakers Pride deck oven is capable of cooking up delicious meals day in and day out, but when it comes time to start the process you’ll have to follow a manual pilot lighting procedure. In this video and written tutorial, you’ll learn how to safely light or relight your Y600 and Y800 gas deck oven. Take a look below to find out more.

  • Step 1–Turn the gas valve to the OFF position, then wait about 5 minutes to allow the gas to escape.
  • Step 2–Press the PILOT knob on the pilot safety valve while lighting the pilot burner.
    • NOTE–Hold the button for about 30 seconds, or 1-2 minutes during install.
  • Step 3–Release the PILOT knob to see if the pilot burner is lit. If the burner doesn’t light, repeat Steps 1-3.
  • Step 4–Remove the cover screw and adjust the pilot burner flame. To reduce the flame, turn the screw clockwise; to increase the flame, turn the screw counterclockwise. 
  • Step 5–Check that the pilot burner flame isn’t too high. The flame shouldn’t cover the thermopile.
